Pänzer est une excellente formation heavy metal allemande, qui incluait jusqu'à tout récemment le chanteur Schmier (Destruction), Pontus Norgren (Hammerfall), V.O. Pulver (G.U.R.D., POLTERGEIST) et Stefan Schwarzmann (Accept, ex: Running Wild).
Cependant, Schmier a décidé de quitter la formation pour se concentrer à 100% sur Destruction et les défis à venir... dont un nouveau batteur et un nouvel album.
Message de Schmier :
"I had some great fun with PÄNZER the last years, but now it is time for me to move on! Yes, I need to let go. I wanna focus a 100% on DESTRUCTION and the upcoming challenges. A new drummer and a new record... I wanna thank all the PÄNZER boys and hope they will go on without me, I was never a great heavy metal singer but I had fun doing it!
Goodbyes are never easy but I need to do this for the sake of my lifetime project, my privacy and my future!
Thanks to those who supported my PÄNZER years — united we stand! See you hopefully soon on the stages of the world…"
De son côté, Pänzer a sorti son second album, "Fatal Command", au mois d'octobre dernier via Nuclear Blast.
